The 3" of drop at heel is for the long necked and tall lanky build but could be, as the stock is very straight grained, be bent up.

The wood is a stunning piece of quarter sawn black walnut, loaded with fiddle and flash on both sides.

*Note that this gun comes with a very nice canvas covered hard case with accoutrement's ( cleaning rod, ends, William Evans chamber brush, snap caps, and oil bottle).

The Westley records date this gun to March of 1907 and made for one George Rolleston. Gunsmith Daniel Morgan has put this gun back on face and it is now ready for another lifetime of use.

Overall, a very nice English boxlock for a more than fair price.

*Note this gun, although from about 1899 still retains at least 50% of its original case color!

*Note - The sleeving was done by the maker as marked "Westley Richards" on both barrels.

*Note this gun has what we call a "swept" comb. This allows better gun fit for a shooter with a wider face/cheek area or perhaps a full beard. A good stock Dr. can also add wood to remove if it is not wanted.

*Scottish guns of this quality with great barrels like this are getting really hard to find.

For a gun with 28" barrels and a decent LOP this gun is light at 6 lbs. 3 oz.

Built between the wars in 1925.

*This gun predates 1899 so we can ship direct.

The 16" LOP is too long for most but we can easily remove and arrange for a pad to be installed to your LOP.

Pre 1898, no FFL needed.

This certainly is a quality shotgun with some nice features such as the higher-grade Anson and Deeley double seared action and with bushed firing pins. The barrels were proofed in London and remain in proof. The gun is tight and well balanced.

The name on the rib also had me a bit intrigued so I had to do an internet search. I did not really expect to find much but as it turns out, J.P. Graham was not only an individual but the name of a well-established Gun and fishing tackle supply store. I found a picture of an invoice from this interesting little business online and have attached it here. The town name also was a place I had never heard of so I had to look that up. I have to say I don't think I would want to tell people I was from "Cockermouth." What a name. Sounds like something my mother might call me after I said something naughty and would result in a mouth full of soap. The name does have much logic to it as the town is located at the mouth of the Cocker river where it empties into the river Derwent in Cumbria.

Interesting history of C.G. Bonehill:

C. G. Bonehill was an English gunmaker from Birmingham, England who lived from 1831 to 1900 1. He established his own firm in 1851 and was recorded at 33 Charlotte Street with a factory in Morville Street in 1872 1. In 1873, he moved the whole business to the Belmont Firearms Works, Belmont Row 1. C. G. Bonehill was a Guardian of The Birmingham Proof House 1. He was related to and may have been associated with O. G. Bonehill of Belmont Firearms Works also of Birmingham 2. He held 4 US patents issued in the 1880s 2. From about 1900 to 1965, the company produced ball & shot guns and combination guns, and they made the Britannia air rifle 1. They were pioneers in the mechanization of gun manufacture, making the “Belmont Interchangeable” shotguns 1. From about 1900, C G Bonehill were the main suppliers of rifles to the “Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs” 1. The Society was founded to encourage rifle shooting amongst working class men, and it was largely responsible for establishing smallbore rifle shooting as a sport in England 1. For this purpose, old .303 Martini-Enfield rifles were re-barrelled to .22 rimfire and sold at very reasonable prices 1

Did you know that with us all veterans and people in the service get free shipping and that all our guns for everyone gets free return shipping if any gun does not meet their satisfaction??

Buy one gun for 6800 or you can buy the pair for 11500.00

* The sleeving joint does show but not badly at all. I have added a couple of pictures to make this clearer. The gun has a very nice, as good as they get, leather covered pad which If I had to get it done today would cost us 400 dollars or more so if it works in length for you this is a great bonus.

*The gun was made in 1909.

So, despite the safety, I still shoot, promote and get excited about these guns as they are worth having, shooting and appreciating due to their great balanced round action and features. This grade and higher feature a rising bite third fastener similar to the coveted Rigby rising third bite. The pull back lever behind the trigger guard opens the gun and is extremely ergonomic. It is out of the way and very easy to operate.

The condition is quite good although there is some light pitting in each bore. I have shot this gun and I have to say it handles extremely well. This is from my personal collection, and I often referred to this gun as my "Hammer head shark" gun!

The gun is tight and ready for you to take afield.

* One could have a pad added to have a LOP of 14 1/4" and the chokes can be opened for around $75.00 per barrel..
